Prologue
Hopekit P.O.V
"Hopekit," Hopekit's mother's soothing voice sounded close to her ear and Willowbreeze's warm breath blew over her body. "Time to wake up. Your brothers and sister are already groomed for the apprentice ceremony."
At this, Hopekit perked up and sat up immediately. Today was the day that Flowerkit, Burnkit, Shellkit, Milkkit, Swallowkit, and Whiskerkit become apprentices. I wonder who'll their mentors will be, she thought. I'm sure Ebonyleaf would be great for Swallowkit. They both have high energy like a rabbit.
Hopekit shivered as she remembered being in the Dark Forest and then in Starclan with Poppyfrost. Whitestorm had come back from his fight with Thistleclaw with multiple wounds. His stomach had been slashed open and blood was pooling on the ground as Jayfeather, Yellowfang, Spottedleaf, and Featherwhisker treated him. Dovewing had come shortly after and told Hopekit about her destiny and her part in the prophecy.
The Drop of Snow, the Mossy Flower, the Feather of Hope, and the Shining Moon, will come together to save the clans from the darkest force of evil. She remembered Dovewing's voice as she told Hopekit. Low, eerie, and far away. Hopekit now knows that she's the Feather of Hope. Together she, Snowdrop, Mossyflower, and Moonshine will save the clans from the Dark Forest once more. In two moons she will become an apprentice and all four of the chosen ones will meet up on the island where gatherings are held.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here below Highledge for a clan meeting!" Paddedstar's yowl echoed around the hollow. Hopekit stood and stretched out her muscles and followed Willowbreeze out of the nursery.
Brambleheart's six kits were lined up in front of the clan, each of their pelts were clean and their eyes were gleaming. Sootkit, Shadekit, Bumblekit, and Dewkit were sitting by Willowstream's sister, Hollycloud, looking up at their father, Paddedstar. Hopekit's father jumped down the tumble of rocks and stood in front of the six kits.
"Flowerkit, Burnkit, Shellkit, Milkkit, Swallowkit, and Whiskerkit," Paddedstar mewed. "Please step forward."
The six kits obeyed and stepped forward. Their tails twitched with excitement, wanting to be apprenticed already. "These six kits have reached their sixth moon, and it's time for them to become apprentices. Flowerkit, from this day forward, you will be known as Flowerpaw."
"Flowerpaw! Flowerpaw!" The clan called out Flowerpaw's name and Hopekit called out her name the loudest. Flowerpaw and Hopekit were best friends and she'll miss Flowerpaw, now that she'll be sleeping in the apprentices den.
"Creekpebble will be your mentor. I hope he passes on everything that Sunblaze has taught to him." Paddedstar nodded towards Creekpebble and Hopekit watched as Flowerpaw touched noses with her new mentor.
As the apprentice ceremony went on, Swallowpaw got Ebonyleaf, just as Hopekit had predicted, Burnpaw got Darklash, Shellpaw got Hazelfoot, and Milkpaw got Swiftfoot. Whiskerkit finally stood alone in front of Paddedstar. The Thunderclan leader looked down at Whiskerkit with kind eyes.
"Whiskerkit, from this day forward, you will be known as Whiskerpaw. I will be your mentor and I will pass down to you everything that Molefur had taught to me," Paddedstar finished. Whiskerpaw stretched up and touched noses with Paddedstar.
Hopekit purred. I hope Paddedstar knows what he got himself into! Whiskerpaw is a bundle of energy! Flowerpaw crossed the clearing and stopped in front of Hopekit.
"Congratulations, Flowerpaw," Hopekit mewed, purring. She pressed up against her friend.
Flowerpaw leaned against her. "Thank you, Hopekit. I'm going to miss playing games with you."
"That's okay," Hopekit squeaked. "You can teach me some battle moves. Look! I already know the hunter's crouch!"
Hopekit dropped down to the ground. She tried to be like the older apprentices and hold her tail still. Sagerun passed by and looked at Hopekit as the small kit tried to get the hunter's crouch down.
"Tuck in your hind legs," she called. Hopekit, a little embarrassed, tucked her legs in. She lost balance and flopped onto her side. She sighed.
"It's okay, Hopekit," mewed Flowerpaw, who was trying to stifle a mrrow of laughter. "You'll get it down soon. I'll teach you the first battle move I learn. Okay?"
Hopekit nodded and stood up, shaking out her tortoiseshell and white pelt. Willowbreeze crossed over to her from speaking with Brambleheart and stopped beside Hopekit. The small kit looked up at her mother with happy eyes. Flowerpaw nodded to Willowbreeze and trotted off to be with her littermates and parents. Hopekit purred as her three brothers tumbled after her sister, Dewkit, and came to a rolling stop. Shadekit slid past Sootkit and Bumblekit and knocked Dewkit's legs out from under her. Dewkit let out a surprised squeak and landed on her stomach. Hopekit sneezed as dust tickled her nose and watched s Dewkit stood up and rubbed her jaw with a paw.
"Willowbreeze," she cried. "My tongue hurts!" She stuck her tongue out so Willowbreeze could see it. A red drop of spit fell and landed on the ground. "Is it bleeding," she mewed, her words sounding jumbled by her tongue.
Willowbreeze nodded. "Yes, my dear. Come on Dewkit, let's go see Nettlestream."
As the two she-cats made off towards the medicine den, their mother looked over her shoulder and motioned towards the elder's den. "Why don't you four go ask Berrypatch, Leopardflight, or Wildheart to tell you a story?"
Hopekit jumped up and raced after her brothers who were already making their way towards the elder's den. "Wildheart," she yowled. Her brother's followed her lead and started yelling out the elder's names.
As she neared the den she heard an exaggerated sigh. The four littermates burst into the den and started bouncing around the three elder's nests.
"Tell us a story! Tell us a story!" They all squeaked with joy as Berrypatch and Leopardflight shared an amused glance.
"How about one about Hawkfrost?"
"No! How about Firestar?"
"Dovewing, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather! Tell us about the Three!"
Wildheart groaned and rolled over, his back facing the four kits. The put a paw over his ears and Hopekit felt bad for him. She glared at her littermates, and they quieted down without another word.
"I know. Tell us about Wildheart when he was young, please," she asked. Leopardflight's eyes lit up with happiness.
"Well," Berrypatch began. Hopekit, Sootkit, Shadekit, and Bumblekit all settled down to listen. "Wildheart was a very energetic kit when he was born, just like you, Bumblekit. So, one day..."
Okay. I hope you all liked the beginning to my new story called Warriors: Hopekit's Destiny. Review and tell me what you think so far.
Thistleface: You know what's weird?
Hopekit: What?
Thistleface: My cat, Tinkerbell, is snoring right now...
Hopekit: *raises eyebrow* ooookaaaay?
Thistleface: ...i know...it's...weird...
